Bonjour

I am chandni, Welcome to the spoon of joy, which has been created by labour of my love for cooking and my journey to be savoured. I truely believe that The chief pleasure in cooking does not consist in costly seasoning, or exquisite flavour, but in yourself.” Horace (65-8 B.C.) Roman lyric poet. The spoon of joy is class-cooking-dining experience, brining in together friends and food and cherishing some dazzling memoirs. Food is gorgeous in various phases – when it is raw, in the process of being cooked, and evidently at the time when its being served. Capturing that and writing the recipes for that has been the goal of my blog! Hope you take pleasure in reading my recipes!
